Porto . 2015Bookstore . 40m2

Gambiarra children’s bookstore had a very strong concept from the beginning that was at the basis of the project and influenced its final result.The intention was to create a bookstore / atelier for children, where the display area would also be suitable for activities. To achieve that, the space was striped of any furniture or equipment and nothing but fixed shelves were created to expose the books. As it was a children’s environment, a skyline was designed, which worked also as a wall panelling that covered the space in all its extension, on a children scale. It was decided to use the same material on the floor and wall panelling to reinforce the idea of the city within the space.
